Isis was a little pleased that Karn was having a good time, but a little too happy that he forgot about his mission.

"Karn" was the name he gave to the megalodon. Although he hesitated a little when he chose the name, he felt like Tess possessed by it, but he really couldn't name its original name - Fierce Eye, this guy's previous owner, in the style of naming pets is even more terrifying than Tess.

At the edge of the field of vision, a small black sail has been raised. The two pirate ships slid out of the natural harbor on the coast and sailed almost straight towards Karn. Iss wasn't sure how far they could tell that the beast that was thrashing in the water wasn't him...... But that may be enough.

He stepped on the water and showed half of his head, squinting his eyes and glancing east. Nighthawk's boat had also left shore, and the spellcaster, who might be hiding among the soldiers, was his most feared enemy.

Hopefully, the spell recast by the Freckles Mage will remain as effective as it should be...... At least, before he settles the immediate troubles and lets Bertram roll as far as he can with his men.

"Can you move?" asked Bang Bu eagerly behind him, grumbling, "I feel like my leg is cramping!"

"I think the only cramp you're going to cramp is under your tongue. Even the innocent Jancy didn't take his words seriously.

"It's too late to go back now. Gichel said coldly.

"Tsk. Bangbu lowered his voice and muttered, "It's like you can get the Unicorn moving without me!"

"I can do it alone. Jancyy said with a smile.

“...... No, you can't leave me!" Bumbu cried out, "the captain has entrusted me with a great responsibility!

Ismu silently blew away the blisters around his mouth expressionlessly. He suddenly realized how valuable his former "companions" were—at least they didn't give him a headache!

He dived into the water without a sound, hoping to shake off the guys. But even if they need to surface every now and then to breathe, they swim no slower than him at all...... Of course. Given that he could only drag this short-limbed body now, it wasn't surprising.

The sunlight shimmered above the water, bright and gentle, and allowed him to discern the direction accurately. Halfway through the swim, the shadow fish of the Nighthawk's boats skimmed over their heads without stopping, apparently not noticing them—but they were surprisingly fast. Most of it was with the help of magic.

Iss sped up with some trepidation, and commanded Karn to swim farther with a voice that was inaudible to humans. Megalodon had a keen hearing, but he feared it would be too excited at the moment.

He didn't want it to be in any danger.

It's not smart. He is old, and he doesn't belong to him. His trust and friendliness to him was probably purely instinctive, but it was still something he did not want to live up to.

He suddenly regretted a little that he had let the beast get involved in this chaos that had nothing to do with it.

When the light dimmed, they could already faintly see the shadow of the Unicorn on the water.

Float to the surface. Hidden under a reef. They reaffirmed that things would not go as smoothly as they had hoped.

There were four ships parked here, the two largest black galleons had gone after Karn, and one smaller pirate ship had slanted across the water, sealing the Unicorn in the corner of the harbor.

These pirates are surprisingly cautious.

“...... It's too bad!" Bangbu lowered his voice and denounced indignantly, "and...... How can they paint my ship black!How can a unicorn be black?!"

Iss rolled his eyes, too lazy to dwell on the pointless question of "there are no unicorns at all" with him.

In fact, the ship was only halfway painted. The mottled hull looks awkward, but the light and sleek hull still looks elegant and proud.

"Was this ship made by elves?" he asked casually.

"Who told you that only elves could build such a ship?" Gishel began to rage again in an inexplicable rage.

"It was made by my people. Jancyy said proudly. "The boat on Rainbow Island is the best!"

Isis didn't say anything. He was humbled to find that he didn't know where Rainbow Bend Island was...... He didn't know what clan Jessie belonged to. Ice dragons are unlikely to be found farther south than the Mariya Mountains, let alone the hot Summer Sea. Having spent some time at Stonebuch, the only thing that impressed him was the three-storied tower.

He didn't quite like to admit it, but he ...... and all his ancestors, who lacked knowledge of the whole South.

A sound of voice floated down from their heads, it was a pirate patrolling the shore. Although most of the people went to sea, the remaining enemies were still dozens of times their own...... If you count the Nighthawk soldiers in the bay, there are almost hundreds of times.

"Do you see that girl from Egger?" a gruff voice on the reef grinned, "They say it's Lange's daughter." ”

"That Lange who dared to steal wine from us? Are he sure his wife gave birth to him? They don't look alike in the slightest!"

Ise frowned - they were obviously talking about Rosa...... Hell, was she stupid enough to be captured by these pirates?

The conversation between the two pirates grew more and more vulgar, but there was no useful information at all, which only made Iss more and more distraught.

"We've got to get rid of the black ships first. ”

After the enemy overhead walked away, Jancy whispered, "Too close...... The unicorn can't knock it out. ”

Isis nodded, calming himself down. Anxiety and anger didn't help at such times, and he had to solve the problems in front of him first.

The Unicorn was tied to the shore by a cable, and from here, there seemed to be no one on the deck. The three guys around him were agile even if they weren't good at fighting, and it wasn't difficult to sneak up...... But as Jhancy said, if they didn't move the pirate ship, it would be useless for them to recapture the Unicorn.

But...... Why does he think in a human way?

Iss frowned at himself in chagrin - he had been trapped in this tiny human body for less than a day!

"Go and get your ship back. He quickly decided, "I'll settle for another one." ”

“...... Are you alone?" Zhan Xi's face was full of disapproval, "Absolutely not!"

Iss could only turn back to see his eyes that were turning golden, and felt a pang of pride in his consternation...... and a slight sense of loss.

"I'm not 'alone'. He said.
